Fire Retardant Effect

Postby BrandonF » Sun Aug 23, 2009 4:25 pm

I posted this in other add-ons wanted, but I'm not getting any responces, so I'l ask it again:

I am working on for Default FSX B747 with a Evergreen texture to look like the Evergreen Supertanker. I need a fire retardant effect. It should last about 5 to 10 seconds. High quality too. I don't want little individual clouds falling to the ground. I want it to actually look like retardant. Could someone please tell me where to find one. Or, if none out there meet my standards, ( ;D) could YOU make or edit an existing one.

Thanks in advance,
Brandon

If you are going to make one, (I will give you credit in the release) here is a picture.

Yes, I believe that fx_smoke_r is a default effect. I have it in my effects folder. The effect was last modified the same date as the default white smoke for the Extra 300. I will try out the config of the smoke later, as I am kind of busy right now.

No problem.  I haven't quite figured out how to shorten the duration ogf the smoke effect to give the illusion of a dropping cloud of retardent yet, anyway.

I tried it and it looks great. And it would be even better to see it drop, and maybe even stain the ground like a few other retardants out there. (one I have been using until I got a better one for the 747 stains the ground.)

I have a fire fighting plane that has a retardant effect.
It is by the Nor-Cal Prop Club.
